Release Date:
January 17, 2012
Rating: r - Sexual Situations, Not For Children, Adult Humor
Belle de Jour dramatizes the collision between depravity and elegance, one of the favorite themes of director Luis Buñuel. Catherine Deneuve stars as a wealthy but bored newlywed, eager to taste life to the fullest. She seemingly gets her wish early in the film when she is kidnapped, tied to a tree, and gang-******. It turns out that this is only a daydream, but her subsequent visits to a neighboring brothel, where she offers her services, certainly seem to be real. This illusion/reality dichotomy extends to the final scenes, in which we are offered two possible endings. Thanks to a question of copyright and ownership, Belle de Jour disappeared from view shortly after its 1967 release, not even resurfacing on videotape. When it was reissued theatrically in 1994, many critics placed the perplexing but mesmerizing film on their lists of that year's best films. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

On Monday, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) was presented with a 2009 Pacific Coast Builders Conference Gold Nugget award for architectural excellence for the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) plans.
The Pacific Coast Builders Conference recently held its 46th annual Gold Nugget Awards in San Francisco, to honor architects and planners for their cutting-edge and creative design of civic, commercial and private structures.
The panel of nine judges praised the innovative design and location of ARTIC and awarded it the Outstanding On-The-Boards Site Plan.
The state-of-the-art facility will serve as a transportation hub designed to accommodate current commuter-rail service and future high-speed rail. ARTIC is situated at major freeways and a short walk from Angel Stadium of Anaheim and Honda Center. Construction on the 16-acre site, owned by OCTA and Anaheim, is expected to begin in 2011.
The driver had reportedly been in four other accidents in the previous 18 months but was allowed to stay behind the wheel.
The agency is already providing enhanced routes and options through a unique 5-year partnership agreement with Megabus.com which began last year, to offer express travel to and from Miami and Orlando for as little as $1.
The 20th installment of the show featured more than 50 new exhibitors, 70-plus vehicles and plenty of information to inspire attendees.
A bipartisan measure has been introduced in the lower chamber that would push back the deadline for most railroads to install automated train technology until December 2018.
The new Plattsburgh, N.Y., building will be equipped of a welcoming customer area, 10 bus delivery spaces and offices to enable our customers to continue their professional activities during their stay.

- Maltese - Children's Encyclopedia (Ages 8-11)
A Maltese is a breed, or type, of dog. It is known for its long, silky white hair. The dog is named for the island of Malta, but people all over the world have raised the breed for centuries.
- Maltese - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
The Maltese is a breed of toy dog known for its snowy white, luxuriantly long and silky coat, which owners often festoon with tiny bows or ribbons; ears are long, heavily feathered, and often groomed in such a way as to blend with the rest of the coat; tail is plumed over the rump; eyes are large, round, and very dark black; adult stands 5 in. (13 cm) tall at shoulders and weighs 4-6 lbs (2-3 kg); sometimes also called Bichon Maltiase; though they have a reputation for being glamorous show dogs, they are also sturdy and vigorously playful; probably originated thousands of years ago along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea and may have been introduced to the island of Malta by the invading Phoenicians in about 1000 BC; thereafter developed as companions, especially favored by upper-class ladies who carried them in their coat sleeves and on their laps during carriage rides,

Vertical Intermix Chamber and TMP Enterprise
View Single Post
July 16 2009, 05:27 PM
Re: Vertical Intermix Chamber and TMP Enterprise
Just because a ship is driven by impulse doesn't mean that it limited to interplanetary travel. One such case is the TOS Bird of Prey. Another such exampel is the Refit Enterprise in Star Trek the Motion Picture.
The former could be a case of temporary impulse operations, mistaken by our heroes for permanent warp incapability. The latter issue I'm not familiar with - the refit ship didn't seem to do any warping or other FTL travel without warp engines in the movie.
That still leaves just two examples of "impulse goes interstellar" in all of Star Trek - and "impulse doesn't allow interstellar" is a central plot point in several episodes, such as "Ensign Ro". Going against these plot points on ambiguous evidence doesn't strike me as a good idea.
Do we have cause to believe this is the case?
That some of the ships in the fleet are of warp-capable type? Yes - several of the Bajoran/Cardassian triangle designs have been evidenced at warp in other episodes. That some may be temporarily warp-incapable? Yes, if we accept that they are normally warp-capable, and are now being referred to as "impulse ships".
The same way, a ship that once possessed steam engines or sails could later be systematically referred to as a "barge" or a "barracks ship" once those engines or sails were removed... And in the former case, there might be little or no external evidence of the reclassification, other than the observed new role of the vessel.
Yet here to I have to have cause to accept that ships displayed are something other than what the council says they're capabilities are.
I'm not sure I understand you here. If the ships are capable of impulse and no better during the episode, no matter what the reason, then they should count as "impulse ships" all right - even if the designs as such have warp drives.

Of Plums and Iceboxes
August 27, 2015 | by Sadie Stein
Because my neighbors were out of town, I had been offered the gift of their weekly fruit and vegetable share from Community Share Agriculture. And because they are a family of four, when I came home from the nearby church where the produce is distributed, it was with bags heavy laden with corn, summer squash, celery, peppers, and stone fruits. It was more than I could eat.
The soft little sugarplums were especially ripe—several had burst in one of my totes on the way home—and clearly needed to be dealt with quickly. In that moment, I realized that I had no idea whether one can refrigerate a ripe plum. I knew, of course, that it had to ripen at room temperature—but what about afterward? Did it go horrible and mealy, like a tomato? Or was it stable and delicious, like a grape? It wasn't that I'd grown up without fruit—in season, there was always a large bowl in the kitchen. But we ate them all so greedily and quickly that the refrigeration issue (at least in my memory) never came up. Read More »
Salmon Mousse, or Absolute Power
August 17, 2015 | by Sadie Stein
Cooking, as we know, is a constant test of character. It's easy to pretend we're all attracted to the high-minded ideals of fostering community, continuing traditions, and feeding souls. But catering for others is often competitive—even if the competition is only with oneself. There is the constant temptation to show off, to experiment, to give into exhibitionism, to put theoretical pleasures before a guest's actual comfort. The turning out of a completely anodyne meal can be an exhausting exercise, because for every normal and pleasing dish served, there exist the ghosts of a hundred more exciting possibilities considered and abandoned, haunting the dinner table with their potential glory. The trick is keeping overweening ambition at bay. The trick is remembering that, for the duration of the meal, you have a kind of control over others.
And so the question really becomes: What does one do with absolute power? The Stanford Prison Experiment is always looming on the horizon. Benignity goes against nature. Read More »

Today, fans of the Bonnie Slotnick Cookbooks store received a welcome e-mail. "Bonnie Slotnick Cookbooks—MOVED!!" read the triumphant subject line. After being forced to leave its longtime home on West Tenth Street, and facing an uncertain future, the beloved institution has landed safely in a new location in the East Village. Many who love the terrific antiquarian shop—stocked with centuries' worth of culinary history, lore, and recipes—and its knowledgeable owner have breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially in cities, we're all so used to seeing independent businesses and brick-and-mortar bookstores die—we're almost inured to it—that it feels strange to get good news. Usually, we give our heads a mournful shake and think, Well, it was too good to last. But, thanks to the generosity of a pair of siblings who are providing a great space at an affordable rent, the shop will not merely survive, but enjoy three times its old space, plus a garden. As Bonnie wrote in an earlier e-mail, "What Margo and Garth [the aforementioned siblings] have done is extraordinary in this day and age, and especially in this city."
The 28 East Second Street location promises to be up and running by early February; do go by if you can. As Bonnie writes, "I'm looking FORWARD. CHANGE IS GOOD! Repeat after me: CHANGE IS GOOD!" (Well, occasionally, anyway.)

Food for Thought
September 5, 2014 | by Sadie Stein
When you're traveling, you understand what you really need, or want, or find comforting—what you can do without and what's essential. In my case, traveling illuminates an addiction to cookbooks.
People have written beautifully about their love of recipe reading. Laurie Colwin's "Why I Love Cookbooks" is a classic explanation of the genre's comforting appeal. Writing in The New Yorker, Adam Gopnik explains it differently:
A kind of primal scene of eating hovers over every cookbook, just as a primal scene of sex lurks behind every love story. In cooking, the primal scene, or substance, is salt, sugar, and fat held in maximum solution with starch; add protein as necessary, and finish with caffeine (coffee or chocolate) as desired. That's what, suitably disguised in some decent dimension of dressup, we always end up making. We make béarnaise sauce by whisking a stick of melted butter into a couple of eggs, and, now that we no longer make béarnaise sauce, we make salsa verde by beating a cup of olive oil into a fistful of anchovies. The herbs change; the hope does not.
Whether the goal is comfort, aspiration, association, curiosity, research, it's clear; people love to read cookbooks. Even Gwyneth Paltrow has claimed to be a bedtime cookbook-reader; of this, make what you will. Read More »
Love Story
June 26, 2014 | by Sadie Stein
"The hallmark of Camp is the spirit of extravagance." —Susan Sontag, "Notes on 'Camp'"
Too much camp is bad for the soul. It's unwholesome, lacking in spiritual nourishment—like eating only processed foods. Irony is no substitute for feeling, detachment no replacement for intellectual engagement: enough camp begins to eat away at both. After a steady diet of midcentury educational films, salacious memoirs, and Florence Foster Jenkins recordings, one begins to feel oneself morphing into a sort of soulless Lord Henry Wotton, and the only remedy is beauty, spareness, and fresh air. Part of the problem is that earnest camp is heartbreaking; in order not to cry, one needs to put up defenses, and this is in itself exhausting.
Periodically, I need to go on cleanses. In these virtuous moods, I resolve to listen to only the finest music, read the best books, watch films worthy of the term. I banish my collection of 1930s Love Story magazines. I shun the "High Gruck and Outsider Art" playlist on my Spotify account. The words "Russ Meyer" are not to be mentioned in my hearing.
The problem is that in the midst of this, your copy of Barbara Cartland: The Romance of Food arrives in the mail from England and tempts you like a rosy-hued she-devil. And then it follows you everywhere, with the promise of easy laughs and garish pictures and oddity nonpareil. You can hide it in the closet. You can stick it under the kitchen counter with the other cookbooks. Still you hear its siren song, which is sort of quavery and backed by a lot of lush strings. Read More »
In Earnest
May 8, 2014 | by Sadie Stein
"Every time I buy a book here, it changes my life," the man told me earnestly. He was not the bookseller, but he was minding the stand on Broadway and Seventy-Third Street while the proprietor got a fruit juice from the nearby cart. He clearly wanted to do right by his friend, the owner, in his brief absence, and I was eager to help him. There was not much that appealed to me, but I finally found a hardcover, lavishly praised the interim salesman to the returned proprietor, and handed him the five-dollar bill that would, he remarked, cover the cost of the mango drink he was now sipping.
I did not really think that The Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous Cookbook (1992) would change my life. If I'd thought more about it, I might have hoped to share the book with a few likeminded friends, where we'd marvel at the dated food styling and speculate about the quality of "Liza's Salade de Provence," which involves corn, raw mushrooms, pink grapefruit, and hearts of palm. In short, I guess you could say what interest I had was ironic.
But then I sat down at home and opened it, and I was reading it, and the act of reading—the process of assimilating letters and sounds and translating that into meaning—is not ironic, is it? In fact, in the absence of other people, there isn't much irony at all. I might have tweeted something about Joan Collins's menu planning—"Extravagance is the only way when it comes to buying beautiful dresses and to making salads"—or shared a picture of the "Smoked Salmon Bruschetta" that was allegedly a specialty of Elle Macpherson's. But instead, I just read, and thought, and maybe smiled a little at some things, but not at anyone's expense. We were in it together. Read More »

Pretty Girls Make Graves, Blood Brothers, Minus the Bear Members Unite for Fallen Comrade
By Tom Breihan on January 21, 2009 at 5:00 p.m. EST
Most of those of us outside Seattle never heard of John Spalding, but the former Raft of Dead Monkeys frontman made an impact on the people who knew him. Spalding died of cancer last November, and now Seattle's indie rock scene has come together to mourn him and to raise money for his wife, who's been stuck with his chemo bills.
Over the next couple of weeks, local musicians will play three different benefit shows in Seattle. Tonight, January 21, Damien Jurado, former Pedro the Lion frontman David Bazan, and See Me River will be at Chop Suey. On Sunday night, January 25, These Arms Are Snakes, Elephant Rider, and Weekend will be at the Cha Cha Lounge. And January 31 will bring MXPX, Amber Pacific, and On the Last Day to El Corazon.
As this story tells, Spalding spent the last years of his life working on a project called LoveLand with Minus the Bear keyboardist Matt Bayles. The Beautiful Truth, the first and only LoveLand album, is out now. It includes guest appearances from former Pretty Girls Make Graves frontwoman Andrea Zollo, Minus the Bear singer Jake Snider, and members of These Arms Are Snakes, Blood Brothers, and Botch. All the proceeds on sales of the album go to Spalding's widow.

I always have a tube of this around. It sucks that it has parabens, but the combo of clay, zinc oxide, and sulfur really knock out zits and clean out my pores. Those extras are why it works so much better for me than the Aztec clay mask. It can be drying and a PITA to remove, but par for the course with clay masks.

The first thing I noticed when I opened the bottle was the strong minty smell. That immediately made me a bit hesitant, as I've read that mint/menthol isn't very kind or good for your skin.
Proceeded to test the mask out, only to wake up with a cystic pimple the next morning. Won't be reusing on my entire face, but maybe it could work for individual pimples/areas as some sort of spot treatment? It felt quite drying, and my skin felt tight after, which usually isn't a good sign.
I think the mask is a bit overly drying/irritating, which in my case led to a cystic pimple, but it does absorb a lot of oil. I would just like to say, as a warning, that removing ALL the oil from your face isn't always a good thing, and can actually worsen your skin.

I seem to be the only person who doesn't like this mask! I thought it was a sure thing based off all the awesome reviews. And for the price, it seemed too good to be true! For me, it definitely was too good to be true. This stuff did absolutely nothing. Literally nothing. Oh wait, that's not entirely true... I suppose it did slightly irritate and dry out my skin. But that's about it lol. I have pretty good skin that doesn't breakout often, but I recently had a breakout and thought I'd finally give this mask a try. It didn't unclog my pores, remove blackheads, soothe/minimize my breakout, nothing! I tried it twice, leaving it on for 10 minutes once, and the second time (a few days later), for about 25 minutes. Both times had the same effect. I was pretty disappointed, as this seems to work for so many people. It just made my skin more red, dry, and irritated. It irritates my breakout, if anything. Just kind of pissed my skin off. I went back to my old, tried-and-true Origins Out of Trouble face mask, followed by my other favorite mask, my Fresh Rose face mask. Those masks combined do absolute wonders for my skin, and afterwards my skin was as good as new. If you struggle with dry skin but do get the odd, very stubborn breakout, I HIGHLY suggest the Origins/Fresh mask duo. It's like you just got a professional facial. Took me years to discover that combo, and it really works. The Queen Helene Mint Julep mask, however, just plain sucks. The only real good thing about the mask is that it's cheap lol. But everyone's skin is different! Will not repurchase.

It's your average clay mask, used it as a mask and spot treatment for 2 weeks now but my skin is still breaking out worse than ever. (not because of this mask, its been breaking out for a while) but this didnt help it. It makes my skin feel clean but doesnt do anything to my acne. It helped my blackheads for a day or two but then they're back :(

I use my fingers to smear the mask on my face after I squeeze it out of the tube. It is fairly easy to glide my fingers around my face with the mask on, it is very thick, and the rich texture allows me to smear it on my face evenly. At the same time, a small amount of the mask allows me to cover a relatively large area of my face. Finally, the mask itself is a minty green, hint the name mint mask, and it of course smells refreshingly minty.
One neat thing I noticed when I was applying the mask on, was that tiny holes appeared on the surface of the mask. It was as if my pores immediately absorbed it. I'm not sure if it is actually my pores, or the mask is just made this way. Nevertheless, I put on another layer on top of the first layer to ensure that no tiny pore holes are showing. Finally, I am left with a very thick green mask on my face.
After the application, my skin tingles a bit. Some reviewers mentioned that it would sting. It is often said that it means the mask is doing its job. But honestly, if the mask begin to sting very much, it is probably better if you just wash it off. Luckily, my skin was not irritated by the mask at all. The tingling sensation was rather refreshing, and I think it is very suitable on a hot summer evening.
After about 10-20 minuets, depending on how thick of a layer you've applied, the mask will dry up and it will crack. When looking into the mirror, there were tiny dark spots showing up on my previously minty green mask. These dark spots usually appears on my nose and cheeks where the larger pores are. I'm not sure what it actually is, but I would like to think its all the dirt in my skin that is getting sucked out to the surface. (The things one delude themselves into thinking...)
I know the mask is completely dry when it cracks, and when I no longer have a darker shade of green blotches on my face. I then rinse the mask off with warm water. A little WARNING though, you might scare yourself a little, if you look up to the mirror when your face is mixed with the mask and water, I know I always scare myself :)
Some users often uses the MJM as a spot treatment overnight for acne, by dabbing on a little mask just on the area that requires treatment. But, the mask actually only works until it dries, so it is best to wash it off immediately after it dries instead of leaving it on for the whole night.
The Result
The mask does a pretty good job in terms of sucking out the dirt in my pores as I had many white heads sitting on top of my nose after the mask, waiting to be cleared off. I had no irritations after the mask, nor did I have any extra blemishes. My complexion overall was evened out by the mask. However, this mask (MJM) did leave my skin feeling very dry afterwards, I recommend putting on moisturizers immediately.
Next Day Result
You thought the evaluation was over didn't ya :) I always do my masks at night, so the evening evaluation is just a beginning :P First thing I do after I wake up is to check the amount of oil I have on my face, I find this to be a pretty good indicator on whether or not the mask is suitable for me. This is especially a good indicator for sheet masks, but I will talk more about it in the upcoming reviews :)
In the morning after the MJM, there is actually quite a bit of oil on my skin, probably because it is quite drying, so my skin tries to replenish the lost oils by producing more oil. It doesn't seem to help even if I put on serums and moisturizers immediately after the mask.
Long Term Result
Believe me when I say the evaluation process is LONG! As I mentioned before in other posts, I've been going through a bad cycle of breakouts for the past 5 months. I've used 3/4 of the MJM, and I have not found it to help reduce acne in the long run. I wouldn't keep my fingers crossed and think that my acne would have been worse if I didn't use the mask.
But please remember that just because it didn't work for me, doesn't mean it won't work for you. I've read a lot of reviews that swears by the MJM and swore that MJM is a god sent gift that have saved their skin. In fact, MJM even has great reviews on acne.org, but unfortunately the mask did not work its magic on me. It's always frustrating for me, because everything that seems to work great for others never really works on me :(
Hope this review have helped you! I actually compared this mask to Lush's mask of magnaminty in my blog along with some photos of me trying the masks on. If you are interested to see me compare the two masks side by side feel free to visit my blog!

Judges and the law
This unit considers the way that judges make law, how the common law system works and the advantages and disadvantages of a system like the British one that relies heavily on such rules and rule making. The unit will set out the basic differences between 'civil code' systems and 'common law' systems, and consider the relationship between judge-made law and statutory law.

Very Good, very useful Plugin
Its help me to check before submitting theme on wordpress directory.
Love this plugin. Started adding microdata to the theme title which caused check to fail.
"REQUIRED: The theme needs to have <title> tags, ideally in the header.php file."
This fails theme check:
<title itemprop="name"><?php wp_title( '|', true, 'right' ); ?></title>
This passes:
<title><?php wp_title( '|', true, 'right' ); ?></title>
I guess it does not recognize microdata.
Throws warning on userful functions. It seems the plugin assumes that some function base64_encode/decoe are only used for hacking purpose "only", it is a very effective function which can be used in multiple ways to encrypt and decrypt data which you do not want wordpress to process. Not only does this create confusion in users but you're spreading a wrong message.
Just ran this plugin on a theme I bought and installed, and what a shock!
Loads of Warnings, errors, and needed fixes.
Thank you for inventing this great plugin, just wish I could have used it before I paid. No refunds.
Thank you~
It's a good tool if you want to develop themes. I use it on my development site to verify my theme doesn't bring up errors before I make a theme go live.
this is very fast
Great plugin that works perfectly.
This is really very great and compatible and i'm loving it
This is great for developers to check their themes for issues. It's handy for regular users to check if their theme is doing anything fishy, too.
It's a good idea to run this before releasing a new theme or update and periodically after this plugin has been updated, or WordPress itself (deprecated functions).
The latest update is great. Now it check for themes encroaching on plugin territory by registering post types, taxonomies, shortcodes, etc. It even checks for sanitization of Customizer settings which is a really easy thing to overlook.

This Image Shows How We're Gonna Change the Whole Big World: {Zen Koan}
Now, meditate, without contemplating anything particularly.
Just sit. Sit down for a moment. Really. Physically, sit, if you're not sitting. Already sitting? Okay. Root your butt bones, you can squnch back and forth, left and right. get your hips level, so you're neither slumping nor arching your back in a tense way. Now, set your feet gently, evenly on the ground. Scan, from your feet up, breathing and relaxing your body. Lift your shoulders up, back and down, and relax. Find your breath. That's it.
When you find yourself thinking (we all think, just about constantly, just notice that. Say "thinking" to yourself, silently, just labeling that thought as what it is: "thinking." It's neither good nor bad to be thinking, and the thought itself doesn't matter, in this context. Just notice, touch the thought, and go back to your breath. Breathe. Repeat. Breathe in, breathe out. When you find yourself thinking, notice that, say "thinking," and return to your breath.
Next time, before the practice, silently bow to yourself and the world in respect and a reminder of our mission; to be of benefit, to be genuine, with joy. This time, after your practice, bow silently to yourself and the world, and dedicate any merit you've just created to all others, the world, including yourself.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

There were also significant differences based on country of birth.
"More American-born children42 percent'reported not having energy' as a barrier to being active versus 12 percent of Mexican-born children," Umstattd Meyer said. "Lack of transportation was more of a barrier for children born in Mexico compared to children born in the United States."
Schools also have a significant impact on physical activity. More than 73 percent of children and mothers view schools as the main location for physical activity in their community with home being second. Other community amenities are factors as well.
"Parks and churches are environmental structures that support physical activity. However, a limited number of parks were documented within or near the colonias, and more than 42 percent of children reported not having a park as a barrier to activity," Umstattd Meyer said.
Learning more about the community's contributing factors to physical activity can lay the groundwork for creating fitness and wellness initiatives targeted to the needs of the community.
"These findings will help us be more effective when designing and implementing future initiatives aimed to improve the health of Mexican-American families," Umstattd Meyer said. "Additionally, our research can help guide decisions about resource allocation within colonias and other immigrant communities to increase parks, playgrounds and access to school grounds."

Strategically positioned at Lima, the financial hub of Peru,
the Holiday Inn-branded property will be in close proximity to
Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM) as well as the Port of
Callao. Intercontinental's expansion plan in Peru is mainly
driven by its strong economic growth and a large tourism

MP3: D.V.N.O. - "Dance With Me"
This West Palm Beach act is named after one of French duo Justice's celebratory gritty dance tracks. So one gets the impression that D.V.N.O. would be some sort of club act decked to the nines in black leather, tweaking knobs and squelching out samples. However, that's not the case. Although this local quartet shares an equal affinity for danceable thrust with the French pair from which it cribbed its moniker, the similarities end there.
Lead by brothers Marco (vocals, bass) and Jacob (drums, percussion)
Baez, D.V.N.O. is a full-on rock four-piece. Its take on dance music
runs in the vein of spunky post-punk act We Are Scientists and other
bands of similar ilk (check Artic Monkeys and Bloc Party.)
Forming a year and a half ago, the Baez brothers used to perform as a three-piece until the band's third member left. A Craigslist ad led them to two more members -- Brock Lamon on rhythm guitar and Panch Wieuty on lead guitar and backup vocals -- and a much fuller sound. Together the foursome creates a sound that falls somewhere between the emo and dance-y indie rock spectrum.
They are currently putting the final touches on their yet-to-be-titled debut full length, which Marco says will be out in the beginning of July.
"Dance With Me" is one of the tracks already completed from said full length. Its title might bring back memories of Fall Out Boy frenetic hit "Dance, Dance," and Marco Baez's energetic falsettos will remind teenyboppers of Panic! at the Disco dreamboat vocalist Brendon Urie.
Despite all of its outward emo touchstones, the D.V.N.O boys genuinely seem to have their sights set for heftier ambitions on this track. They drive for a sound that's altogether less froufrou pop punk and more sprawling emotive rock -- think Taking Back Sunday or At The Drive-In.
The D.V.N.O boys were also a late entry into the 15th Annual Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands,
attempting to make it onto the West Palm Beach leg of the Vans Warped
Tour. The band has until July 16 to get in the top 100, so fans better
hurry and show some support; when we last checked they had only four votes. Check out "Dance With Me" below first.

The Pub / Re: Bell's First Beer Fermented in the Cypress Vats From Stroh's« on: October 06, 2015, 12:57:45 PM »
Wow! That's pretty cool!
This section allows you to view all posts made by this member. Note that you can only see posts made in areas you currently have access to.
I have never submitted any of our beers for awards but I am planning on doing so next year for sure.
I don't have anything against competitions/awards in general, but I'll never enter GABF. Way too much beer and way too much money spent marketing to a bunch of drunks who are mostly from out of state.
By the way, I didn't see you or Tommy at the Nook last night to celebrate the silver medal! I went to support Weedy, he's a great kid, and becoming an excellent brewer as well.I didn't even know. I was working last night. But, last night if I wasn't working I would have gone to Rocket Republic for "The Martian: Science Facts vs. Science Fiction, where you'll hear from 5 subject matter experts from NASA Marshall Space Flight Center who are actively working on some of the technologies showcased in the movie."
I drank a 7 oz pour of the AdamBeir again and it has gotten even better than the last time I tried it. The Brett is really starting to pick up that nice cherry pie filling/Orvalish character. What an excellent beer! I call BULLSH!T about the 12% though. Probably 10%.
That has to be one of the coolest brewery events ever.
Geek out, Huntsville!
That beer is extraordinarily good, I told weedy (their head brewer) that I thought it was the best beer ever brewed in Alabama. That said, we have never entered a beer in any competition yet, so there is that.I saw Weedy on the news the other night. This is big for the Huntspatch beer scene ...the local news jumped on it!
Also for fermentation it was in a fermentaion chamber with a johnsons control temp controller in conjunction with a thermowell at 68* for the two weeks in primary and as said before i did a two stage yeast starter. i know for sure i had proper viability and count and was well within temp range. I used brewersfriend.com's yeast calculator for my starter volumes and rates. I'm sure my issue has to be in recipe. Maybe torrified wheat instead or maybe add carapills, although ive heard mixed feelings about carapills.

If you're like me, you spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to pick out the perfect weather app for your iPhone. Apple's Weather app just doesn't cut it and it's very hard to find something that has a little bit of every detail without being cluttered or downright ugly. That happy medium for me is Carrot Weather but unfortunately it's been crashing on the iOS 9 developer beta. In its place I've been testing Radar Cast, a slightly unusual weather app that attempts to deliver all the most crucial information to your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.
Cord-protecting Juiceboxx will save you a trip to the Apple Store
My MacBook Air's charging cord was basically destroyed after only about two years of owning it. I just kept putting black electrical tape around it but that only seemed to make it worse. I finally waved the white flag, went to the Apple Store and bought a new charger for a whopping $79. If you've been through this before, listen up, because Juiceboxx will help you out.
Juiceboxx is a plastic case that wraps around your MacBook's power adapter and forces the cord to point straight forward at the base. That way when you need to wrap it up and go, the cord isn't dealing with the stress of being bent and twisted. More importantly, your cord won't fray as it tends to do, leaving you with more money in your pocket and one less trip to the Apple Store.
Shoulderpod's iPhone grip helps you shoot video like a pro
So you want to take video with your iPhone, because you realize that it's a fantastic camera with some great features like slo-mo and time-lapse, and you also know that the best camera for any video or photo shoot is often the one you have with you.
If you're like me, though, chances are you're a bit shaky-handed. Or you have big mitts that tend to cover your whole iPhone, and they constantly end up hitting the Sleep button when you don't want them to.
In short, shooting video with any sort of professionalism or polish is much more easily accomplished with a camera you can grip. That's where ShoulderPod S1 Pro iPhone Grip comes in.
Apple Watch review: Futuristic, fun and fan-flipping-tastic
Apple Watch is the most confounding device to come out of Cupertino since Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone. Is is it a watch? Is it a tiny computer on your wrist? It's both — and it's so much more.
After four days playing with the Apple Watch, we've found it to be far more futuristic — and far more fun — than we could have imagined. (It's even more impressive if you've tried any of the other smartwatches on the market.)
Apple Watch isn't without its disappointments, though. If you're still unsure whether to shackle yourself to Jony Ive's fabulous timepiece, here's our take on what works — and what doesn't.
Darkroom is like having the best of Adobe Lightroom on your iPhone
Adobe's Lightroom app for iOS is actually pretty good, but you have to pay for a Creative Cloud subscription to use it.
What if you could have the power of an editing suite like Lightroom without all of the extra fuss? You want just one app for editing pictures on the go, but it needs to be easy to use and full featured.
Enter Darkroom, the hottest new photography app for iPhone.
